An Almost Guaranteed Way to Make it Rain ...

... is to take a motorcycle ride of more than a few miles. So I should have known that when I took the Italica Bulldog 150  out for a 50-mile round trip today, I'd end up running into precipitation.

I'm not complaining, mind you. It wasn't much, certainly not enough to be any great trouble while on the road.

In fact, I may take a long ride on the Lifan KP Mini 150 tomorrow and see if I can get a real thunderstorm going. We need it -- we've had multiple wildfires in the area this week. None have been especially close to the house, but the longer the dry weather continues, the more we have to worry about that possibility.
